<title>A Framework For Securing Jabber Conversations</title>
|
|
<abstract>
|
|
Although the value and utility of contemporary instant messaging
|
|
systems, like Jabber, are now indisputable, current security
|
|
features to protect message data are generally inadequate for
|
|
many deployments; this is particularly true in security conscious
|
|
environments like large, commercial enterprises and government
|
|
agencies. These current features suffer from issues of
|
|
scalability, usability, and supported features. Furthermore, there is a
|
|
lack of standardization.
|
|
We present a protocol to allow communities of Jabber users to
|
|
apply cryptographic protection to selected conversation data.

<section1 topic="Introduction">
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Instant messaging has clearly crossed the chasm from experimental
|
|
to mainstream in a short amount of time. It is particularly
|
|
interesting to note the extent to which the employees and
|
|
affiliates of large enterprises have adopted instant messaging as
|
|
part of their daily professional lives. IM is no longer simply
|
|
used on Friday evening to select which movie to watch; it's now
|
|
used on Monday morning to select which company to acquire.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
While the benefits of IM are clear and compelling, the risks
|
|
associated with sharing sensitive information in an IM
|
|
environment are often overlooked. We need a mechanism that
|
|
permits communities of users to protect their IM conversations.
|
|
This document presents an extension protocol that can be
|
|
incorporated into the existing Jabber protocol to provide such a
|
|
mechanism. We hope that this protocol spurs both interest
|
|
and further investigation into mechanisms to protect Jabber
|
|
conversations. We also hope that the Jabber community can
|
|
accelerate the adoption of standardized security mechanisms.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
In addition to its ability to protect traditional messaging data,
|
|
the proposed protocol may also serve as a foundation for securing
|
|
other data transported via other Jabber extensions.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
We use the following terms throughout this document to describe
|
|
the most relevant aspects of the IM environment that we wish to
|
|
address:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>
|
|
user. A user is simply any Jabber user. Users are uniquely
|
|
identified by a JID; they connect to Jabber hosts using a
|
|
Jabber node.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Users produce and consume information, and we wish to
|
|
provide them with mechanisms that can be used to protect
|
|
this information.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>
|
|
community. A community is a collection of users who wish to
|
|
communicate via Jabber. No restrictions or assumptions are
|
|
made about the size of communities or the geographical,
|
|
organizational, or national attributes of the members.
|
|
Communities are assumed to be dynamic and ad-hoc. Users
|
|
typically join communities by the simple act of invitation.
|
|
All members of a community are assumed to be peers.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The members of communities share information among
|
|
themselves, and we wish to provide them with mechanisms
|
|
that can permit information to only be shared by community
|
|
members.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>
|
|
conversation. A conversation is the set of messages
|
|
that flows among the members of a community via some
|
|
network. Conversations consist of both the actual
|
|
conversation data produced and consumed by the various
|
|
users as well as the Jabber protocol elements that
|
|
transport it. Members participate in a conversation when
|
|
they are the source or destination of this traffic.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
In hostile network environments, like the Internet,
|
|
conversation data is vulnerable to a variety of well-known
|
|
attacks.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Other Jabber and IM terms are used in a traditional, intuitive
|
|
fashion.

<section1 topic="Requirements And Considerations">
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The proposed protocol is designed to address the specific
|
|
requirements and considerations presented in this section.
|
|
</p>

|
<section2 topic="Security Requirements">
|
|
|
|
<section3 topic="Data Protection Requirements">
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
A secure IM system must permit conversation participants to
|
|
preserve the following properties of their conversation data:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>
|
|
confidentiality. Conversation data must only be disclosed
|
|
to authorized recipients
|
|
</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>
|
|
integrity. Conversation data must not be altered
|
|
</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>
|
|
data origin authentication. Recipients must be able to
|
|
determine the identity of the sender and trust that the
|
|
message did, in fact, come from the sender. It is important
|
|
to note that this requirement does not include the
|
|
requirement of a durable digital signature on conversation
|
|
data.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>
|
|
replay protection. Recipients must be able to detect and
|
|
ignore duplicate conversation data.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
These are established, traditional goals of information security
|
|
applied to the conversation data. In the IM environment, these
|
|
goals protect against these attacks:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>
|
|
eavesdropping, snooping, etc.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>
|
|
masquerading as a conversation participant
|
|
</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>
|
|
forging messages
|
|
</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Preserving the availability of conversation data is not addressed
|
|
by this protocol.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Preserving the anonymity of conversation participants is an
|
|
interesting topic which we defer for future exploration.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Finally, note that this protocol does not concern any authentication
|
|
between a Jabber node and a Jabber host.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
</section3>
|
|
|
|
<section3 topic="Data Classification Requirements">
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
A secure IM system must support a data classification feature through the use
|
|
of security labeling. Conversation participants must be
|
|
able to associate a security label with each piece of
|
|
conversation data. This label may be used to specify a data
|
|
classification level for the conversation data.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
</section3>

|
|
|
<section3 topic="The End To End Requirement">
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
It is easy to imagine Jabber systems in which the servers play
|
|
active, fundamental roles in the protection of conversation
|
|
data. Such systems could offer many advantages, like:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>
|
|
allowing the servers to function as credential issuing
|
|
authorities,
|
|
</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>
|
|
allowing the servers to function as policy enforcement
|
|
points.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Unfortunately, such systems have significant disadvantages when
|
|
one considers the nature of instant messaging:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Many servers may be untrusted, public servers.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>
|
|
In many conversation communities, decisions of trust and
|
|
membership can only be adequately defined by the members
|
|
themselves.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>
|
|
In many conversation communities, membership in the
|
|
community changes in real time based upon the dynamics of
|
|
the conversation.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>
|
|
In many conversation communities, the data classifaction of
|
|
the conversation changes in real time based upon the
|
|
dynamics of the conversation.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Furthermore, the widespread use of gateways to external IM
|
|
systems is a further complication.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Based on this analysis, we propose that security be entirely
|
|
controlled in an end to end fashion by the conversation
|
|
participants themselves via their user agent software.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
</section3>
|
|
|
|
<section3 topic="Trust Issues">
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
We believe that, ultimately, trust decisions are in the hands of
|
|
the conversation participants. A security protocol and
|
|
appropriate conforming user agents must provide a mechanism for them to make
|
|
informed decisions.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
</section3>
|
|
|
|
<section3 topic="Cryptosystem Design Considerations">
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
One of the accepted axioms of security is that people must avoid
|
|
the temptation to start from scratch and produce new, untested
|
|
algorithms and protocols. History has demonstrated that such
|
|
approaches are likely to contain flaws and that considerable time
|
|
and effort are required to identify and address all of these
|
|
flaws. Any new security protocol should be based on existing,
|
|
established algorithms and protocols.

</section2>

|
|
<section2 topic="Environmental Considerations">
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Any new IM security protocol must integrate smoothly into the
|
|
existing IM environment, and it must also recognize the nature of
|
|
the transactions performed by conversation participants. These
|
|
considerations are especially important:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>
|
|
dynamic communities. The members of a community are defined
|
|
in near real time by the existing members.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>
|
|
dynamic conversations. Conversations may involve any
|
|
possible subset of the entire set of community members.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Addressing these considerations becomes especially crucial when
|
|
selecting a conference keying mechanism.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
</section2>
|
|
|
|
<section2 topic="Usability Requirements">
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Given the requirement to place the responsibility for the
|
|
protection of conversation data in the hands of the participants,
|
|
it is imperative to address some fundamental usability issues:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>
|
|
First, overall ease of use is a requirement. For protocol
|
|
purposes, one implication is that some form of
|
|
authentication via passphrases is necessary. While we
|
|
recognize that this can have appalling consequences,
|
|
especially when we realize that a passphrase may be shared
|
|
by all of the community members, we also recognize the
|
|
utility.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>
|
|
PKIs are well established in many large organizations, and
|
|
some communities will prefer to rely on credentials issued
|
|
from these authorities. To ensure ease of use, we must
|
|
strive to allow the use of existing PKI credentials and
|
|
trust models rather than impose closed, Jabber-specific
|
|
credentials.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Finally, performance must not be negatively impacted; this
|
|
is particularly true if we accept that most communities are
|
|
composed of human users conversing in real time. For
|
|
protocol purposes, one obvious implication is the desire to
|
|
minimize computationally expensive public key operations.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
We note that, in practice, the design and construction of user
|
|
agents will also have a major impact on ease of use.

<section2 topic="Development And Deployment Requirements">
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
To successfully integrate into the existing Jabber environment,
|
|
an extension protocol for security must satisfy the following:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>
|
|
It must be an optional extension of the existing Jabber protocol.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>
|
|
It must be transparent to existing Jabber servers.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>
|
|
It must function gracefully in cases where some community
|
|
members are not running a user agent that supports the
|
|
protocol.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>
|

It must make good use of XML.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>
|
|
It must avoid encumbered algorithms.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>

It must be straightforward to implement using widely

Failure to accommodate these will impede or prohibit adoption of

any security protocol.

<p>
|
|
Ultimately, conversation data is protected by the application of
|
|
keyed cryptographic operations. One operation is used to provide
|
|
confidentiality, and a separate operation is used to provide
|
|
integrity and data origin authentication. The keys used to
|
|
parameterize these operations are called conversation keys. Each
|
|
conversation should have its own unique set of conversation keys
|
|
shared among the conversation participants.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Conversation keys are transported among the conversation
|
|
participants within a negotiated security session. A security session allows
|
|
pairs of conversation participants to securely share conversation keys
|
|
throught all participants in the conversation as required.

|
|
|
|
<section3 topic="Overview">
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
A security session is a pair-wise relationship between two users
|
|
in which the users have achieved the following:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>
|
|
They have mutually authenticated each other using credentials acceptable to both.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>
|
|
They have agreed on a set of key material known only to both.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Security sessions are identified by a 3-tuple consisting of the following items:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>
|
|
initiator. This is the JID of the user who initiated the session.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>
|
|
responder. This is the JID of the user who responded to the initiator's request.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>
|
|
sessionId. A label generated by the initiator.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Security sessions are used to transport conversation keys between the conversation participants.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Scalabilty is an immediate, obvious concern with such an approach. We expect this
|
|
approach to be viable in practice because:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The number of participants in typical, interactive conversations is generally on the order of 10^1.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>
|
|
New participants are usually invited to dynamically join a
|
|
conversation by being invited by an existing participant;
|
|
this existing participant is the only one who needs to
|
|
establish a security session with the new participant,
|
|
because this single security session can be used to
|
|
transport all of the required conversation keys.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>
|
|
User agents can permit the lifetime of security sessions to
|
|
last long enough to allow transport of conversation keys
|
|
for a variety of converstions.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Conversation keys can be established with a suitable lifetime.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Other approaches, including the incorporation of more
|
|
sophisticated conference keying algorithms, are a topic for
|
|
future exploration.

</section3>
|
|
|
|
<section3 topic="Security Session Negotiation">
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Security sessions are negotiated using an authenticated Diffie-Hellman key agreement
|
|
exchange. The two goals of the exchange are to perform the mutual authentication
|
|
and to agree to a secret that is know only to each.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The exchange also allows the parties to negotiate the various algorithms
|
|
and authentication mechanisms that will be used.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Once the pair agree on a shared secret, they each derive key material from the
|
|
secret; this key material is used to securely transport the conversation keys,
|
|
which are used to actually protect conversation data.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The protocol data units (PDUs) that comprise the exchange are transported
|
|
within existing Jabber protocol elements.

</p>
|

|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Appropriate values for the version, initiator, responder,
|

sessionId, and hmac attributes are assembled. The version of
|
|
this specification is '1.0'. The values of initiator and
|
|
responder MUST be the JIDs of the two participants,
|
|
respectively. The sessionId and hmac values MUST match the
|
|
sessionId and hmac values contained in both the session1 and

</li>
|
|
<li>

Based on the selected authentication algorithm, the

initiator's authenticator is constructed. A digital signature algorithm

requires calculating:

|
|
</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>
|
|
HASH_I is signed using the responder's private key and encoded in PKCS#1 format.
|
|
The PKCS#1 octets are then further encoded in base64 or hex.
|
|
</p>
|

The passphrase algorithm requires calculating:

HK = hmac (hash (passphrase), initiator's nonce | responder's nonce)

The octets of HASH_I are simply encoded in base64 or hex.

<section3 topic="The Message Protection Mechanism">

<p>
|
|
A protected message is defined as a traditional Jabber message whose body content
|
|
is extended to include the transport of a cryptographically protected message body.
|
|
The two key features are
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>
|
|
First, the usual body element contains some arbitrary text. Those familiar with the
|
|
evolution of email protocols will recognize this trick as the same one used
|
|
when MIME was introduced.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Second, the message contains a Jabber x element defining the Jabber:security:message
|
|
namespace; this element transports the protected message.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
This mechanism has the advantages of allowing transparent integration with existing
|
|
Jabber servers and existing Jabber clients.

|
|
<p>
|
|
This entire document is about security.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
This version of the protocol deliberately incorporates only a minimal amount
|
|
of cryptographic choice. Examples of possible choices that can readily
|
|
added in future drafts include:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Support for the Digital Signature Standard
|
|
</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Support for Elliptic Curve Cryptography
|
|
</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Additional symmetric algorithms
|
|
</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Additional hash algorithms
|
|
</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Furthermore, additional credential formats, such as OpenPGP, may be addressed
|
|
in future drafts.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
This version of the protocol includes a mechanism that derives a cryptographic key from a
|
|
passphrase shared by a community of users. It is impossible to overstate the security
|
|
issues that such a mechanism raises.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
This version of the protocol does not include a specific rekeying capability. Data volumes
|
|
in IM environments are expected to be small, and the protocol prefers to simply instantiate
|
|
new conversation keys. It is straightforward to extend the security session protocol to
|
|
enable negotiation of a new key.
